Father's Use Of Time As Related To Father-Son Identification For A Selected Middle Class Mormon Sample, Charles F. Myler Jan 1969

Father's Use Of Time As Related To Father-Son Identification For A Selected Middle Class Mormon Sample, Charles F. Myler

Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to investigate the possible relationship between the father's use of time and the identification between the father and the son. Several studies in the past have indicated that not only is identification important to the personality development of the son, but that how the father uses his time also affects the identification between the father and the son.

A Study To Establish Criteria For Creating Thematic Literature Units Appropriate To Lds Secondary Schools In The South Pacific, And The Creation Of Three Such Units, Ronald F. Malan Jan 1969

A Study To Establish Criteria For Creating Thematic Literature Units Appropriate To Lds Secondary Schools In The South Pacific, And The Creation Of Three Such Units, Ronald F. Malan

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to develop criteria for creating thematic literature units appropriate to the English language facility and to the culture of students in the LDS secondary schools in the South Pacific, and (b) to create three thematic literature units at the Form 5 (11th grade) level which would exemplify the recommended criteria.
An analysis of questionnaire responses revealed that a concept-centered approach to literature should take precedence, with geographical literature—especially Polynesian—also receiving emphasis. Less attention should be given to developing skill in literary analysis, and more focus placed upon systematically reinforcing other language arts …

New Solutions Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations From Old, B. Kent Harrison Nov 1968

New Solutions Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations From Old, B. Kent Harrison

Faculty Publications

Methods are discussed with which one may derive theorems which allow one to generate new solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations from old ones. The old solutions used to generate new ones must admit at least one nonnull Killing vector and may be required to satisfy other conditions, depending on the theorem derived. Examples of derivable theorems are shown; these theorems are used in turn to show how generation of new solutions is accomplished. Examples of the latter are shown, such as generation of Brill or electrified NUT space from the Schwarzschild solution, generation of a new twisted Melvin universe from …

An Analysis And Comparison Of Linear Phase Bandpass Filters, Darrell L. Ash Aug 1968

An Analysis And Comparison Of Linear Phase Bandpass Filters, Darrell L. Ash

Theses and Dissertations

The ideal bandpass filter is defined as one which uniformly attenuates and delays all frequency components within the passband and effects zero transmission of all components outside the passband. For reasons which will be subsequently discussed, it is impossible to realize a stable lumped-element filter having this ideal characteristic. This has made it necessary to find ways to physically approximate such a characteristic. Some of the more widely used methods will be compared and analyzed in this paper.

Determination Of Stability Constants At 25c For The Interaction In Aqueous Solution Of Serine With Co (Ii), Ni (Ii), Cd (Ii), Zn (Ii), And Cu (Ii) Ions, Liak Hwe Ma

Theses and Dissertations

Values of thermodynamic stability constants at 25°C for the complexes of serine with the metal ions. Co^2+, Ni^2+, Cd^2+, Zn^2+, and Cu^2+ were obtained from pH titration data. All measurements were made in aqueous solution, and data were obtained at three different ionic strengths for each metal ion studied. It was assumed that the activity of the zwitterion is unity. The effect of metal ion hydrolysis upon the log K values was taken into account for the calculations. For all the metal ions studied, stability constants for MA^+, MA_2, and MA_3^- were reported with the exception of copper (II) which …

A Study Of Reaction Parameters In The Hydrogenation Of Acetic Acid By Rhenium Heptoxide Catalyst, Victor L. Mylroie Aug 1968

A Study Of Reaction Parameters In The Hydrogenation Of Acetic Acid By Rhenium Heptoxide Catalyst, Victor L. Mylroie

Theses and Dissertations

Rhenium oxides as well as other rhenium compounds are known to display a broad spectrum of catalytic activity,^25 being resistant to attack by acids under nonoxidizing conditions, and showing a remarkable ability to resist poisoning which is a serious limiting factor in many commonly used catalysts. Rhenium catalysts are cheaper than the platinum metals with the exception of palladium. One of the most remarkable properties of the rhenium catalyst is the ability to catalyze the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and amides to the corresponding alcohols and amines respectively. The carboxyl group (-COOH) is notoriously difficult to reduce catalytically and most …

High Pressure, High Temperature Syntheses Of Rare Earth Diantimonides And Th₃P₄ Type Polymorphs Of Rare Earth Sesquisulfides, Normal L. Eatough Aug 1968

High Pressure, High Temperature Syntheses Of Rare Earth Diantimonides And Th₃P₄ Type Polymorphs Of Rare Earth Sesquisulfides, Normal L. Eatough

Theses and Dissertations

The rare earths form series of compounds which are known for several elements but end abruptly or undergo a change of structure at some member of the series. The diantimonides are one such series. Sb-Sb repulsion becomes stronger as the rare earth size decreases and the previously known series ended at Sm. It was felt that high pressure would overcome the Sb-Sb repulsion and allow bonding to form stable or metastable compounds not possible by ordinary techniques. Synthesis studies were carried out on mixtures of antimony with all the rare earths except Pm and with Sc and Y. The known …

Factors Influencing Production Of Flower Stalks In Agropyron Cristatum (L.) Gaertn, Neil C. Frischknecht Aug 1968

Factors Influencing Production Of Flower Stalks In Agropyron Cristatum (L.) Gaertn, Neil C. Frischknecht

Theses and Dissertations

A study was made of factors that influence production of different numbers of flower stalks of crested wheatgrass on grazed and ungrazed areas. Both laboratory and field studies were made. Greatest response in flower stalk production resulted from application of nitrogen in the field, amounting to an increase of from 5 to 10 times the numbers of flower stalks on untreated areas. Responses of plants in the greenhouse supported these results. Plants grown in the dark indicated that higher carbohydrate reserves existed in ungrazed than in grazed plants. It was concluded that a high carbohydrate-low nitrogen balance was the primary …

Theses and Dissertations

A new isothermal titration calorimeter has been designed to facilitate the study of heats of reaction and heats of solution at constant temperature. With this calorimeter, endothermic or exothermic processes can be studied at temperatures constant to ±0.0002°C. Heat effects are compensated by balancing the heat effect of the process taking place in the calorimeter against a variable heat and a constant cooling Peltier device. The calorimeter was tested by measuring the heat of ionization of water and the heat of dilution of aqueous HClO_4 solutions. For these systems heats were measured to an accuracy of ±0.02 calorie. Log K, …

The Effect Of Thiamine And Its Antagonists On Plasma And Tissue Lactic Dehydrogenase In Rats, Dong Hwa Park Aug 1968

The Effect Of Thiamine And Its Antagonists On Plasma And Tissue Lactic Dehydrogenase In Rats, Dong Hwa Park

Theses and Dissertations

The lactic dehydrogenase activity in plasma and tissues was measured in the thiamine-deprived, the oxythiamine-treated and the pyrithiamine-treated rats as well as the control rats. The lactic dehydrogenase levels of brain and kidney were significantly increased by oxythiamine treatment. The enzyme activity in heart was markedly decreased only in the thiamine-deprived rats. Unlike the above tissues, the enzyme levels in liver were decreased by 29-44 per cent in all three types of thiamine deficiency, However, the enzyme activity in plasma was significantly increased only by pyrithiamine administration. The distribution patterns of lactic dehydrogenase isozymes were electrophoretically examined in these deficiencies. …
